The announcement suggests that Oracle's strategic endeavors, which include both acquisitions and the launch of platforms such as Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g, continue to move at a healthy speed. Oracle announced an agreement with eServGlobal May 26 to acquire the latter's Universal Service Platform, which includes a pre-paid charging application, network-services platform and messaging gateway.

The deal, announced May 26 and expected to close in the second half of 2010, centers on eServGlobal's Universal Service Platform (USP), which includes a network-services platform and messaging gateway in addition to a pre-paid charging application. Pre-paid mobile customers represent a rapidly growing segment of the communications industry, particularly in developing countries.
